Homemade Milky Way bars have the same soft chocolate nougat, gooey caramel and smooth milk chocolate as the candy bar. The nougat is a quick mix of marshmallow creme and chocolate, the caramel is melted soft caramels, and the chocolate goes on top. Cut into bars and they look just like the ones in the wrapper.
